Love too much, love at all

"Drop your form and body, reject your hearing and eyesight, forget your place in the hierarchy of things, then you may become one with infinite". Classical Chinese wisdom, Anne Carson

At the beginning of this year I started going through my photographic archives from 2014 until today looking for an axis, a connection, because I am convinced that there’s a nucleus from which everything’s comes from and to which everything returns. I recently came back to live at my hometown after a long time and after a long wander through other universes. I began to experience it with a different pulse, to let myself be invaded by its peculiar rhythm. Yet again: connections rising everywhere. Everything is tied together by an invisible thread that suddenly started to manifest itself. I captured stars raging over the blue lake’s surface. Wood, roots and moss, wildflowers fearlessly vibrating under the golden light of the sunset. A dark thick water that in its density seemed to have swallowed the moon. An imperceptible glow floating through the trees like a secret wet mist, smooth as silk. All of them breathing together, creating these multiple treasures of plots and hues, splendour and fog, earth, night, sunlight and tiny happy spaces of deliverance.

Nothing lives without heart. "Love too much, love at all", as Anne Carson says. Eyes also need to love because without beating nothing comes to life, nothing happens at all.

I believe in the power of creating symbols that heal us. I wonder about works of art’s effectiveness: about their value, their circulation, their power to exist. How many times has an art piece arrived into your life as a particle of light from the outer space and joined your cells as if it had always belonged there? However, suspicion resists: can I talk about myself to reach others? Does my way of seeing the world have the ability to awake something small but powerful in the eye, in the spirit, in someone else's conscience?

My work is about believing. In art, in creativity, in love, in exploring all, in knowing that every single thing lives from changes. In owning my purpose, that purpose that brought me here, that purpose that keeps me burning. My work is about the fragility of things, about understanding how everything is in motion, united, inseparable, extensive and infinite in its constant transformation.
